He's reminiscing about taking the photograph from off the fridge before he left.

I get the impression all was not well in his domestic situation.

That's how I took it too. He took a photo with him before he left.

Thanks ... It's a great song. I really love the lyrics. The orange line has caused a bit of derision in our household ... I think it's great.

It's such an absurd thing to witness. But that's why it works; war is absurb.

He's looking through photographs he's shot while sitting at a café waiting on the waiter to come. The child drinking dirty water by the riverbank and the soldier bringing oranges are two such photographic images. The unjustness of war.

People say NLOTH was awful, but I don't think anyone in their right mind could call Cedars of Lebanon awful. It's a great song and a good way to end an album.

For sure, but I wish that the album as a whole was more like it. NLOTH is such an unfocused mess. Had they released it 2-3 years sooner maybe we wouldn't have gotten garbage like Magnificent and Crazy Tonight, which are so unfitting.

*hides behind rock* I actually like Magnificent...

Crazy Tonight and the remix are some of the worst things they've ever made. Other stuff like Breathe and White as Snow are really good though.

(Sorry, don't mean to go too off-topic here.)

Haha, a lot of people do!

I really want to love NLOTH and Breathe-- they have the foundations of great rock songs. But the overpolish just kills it for me. Add in the bizarre lyrics to Breathe and the obnoxious "ooohhh"-ing to Horizon and you've got two major disappointments.

A couple more songs like that would have been nice. I also wish that they explored the Middle Eastern sound further, like in Fez.

Magnificent is f***in awesome! That version they did of it on the i+e tour was soooo good. I hope it shows up on the Experience end of the tour.

I actually like No Line...but I know it's a flawed album. I knew it was a flawed album on first listen. It contains U2's worst song IMHO (Bootz).But I never felt like I had to make peace with that. I take what I like from this album and leave the rest (which for me is just the middle 3 Crazy-Bootz-Comedy).
